~*Chapter 6:facing fears*~

Tommy, Eric, and Shawn just sat there in the

bedroom for a minute they couldn't speak, the

couldn't breath, they couldn't even move. "We have

to do something, like call 911 Tommy's mother got

shot we cant just sit here." Shawn said as he got up.

"Yea, there is a phone in The parents bedroom....

say a women was shot by her estranged husband

and that he could be dangerous at the state of mind

he is in." Eric nodded his head supportively.

Shawn left the room and quietly creept into the

father and mothers bedroom. Back in the bedroom

Tommy was crying and Eric was at the point of tears

too. He hugged Tommy in a heay embrace and

wispered "Everything will be okay, we're going to

get you out of here." Shawn called 911 and waited

with terror that he could be killed if Tommy's father

had come back and saw him. "911 emergency, what

is your emergency?" Said a women on the other

end. "A women just got shoot by her estranged

husband and he is on the loose now." Said Shawn

hurridly. He gave the address that he was at and

hung up. He walked back into Tommy's bedroom,

Eric got up and walked over to Shawn. "Help is on

the way i think everything will be okay." Shawn

wispered to Eric. I few seconds latter they heard a

door downstairs open and they heard.

"Paramedics." From upstairs they could hear them

bringing in a streacher. Shawn, Eric and Tommy

went downstairs. When they got downstairs they

explained how they were friends of Tommy

and came for a visit. They rode in the ambulence

with Tommy's mother who was unconsious but was

hooked up to an IV bag. When they got to the

hospital Tommy's mother was brought straight to

the intensive care. Eric was holding Tommy who

was crying because his mother looked like she was

in bad shape. "Doctor what is Mrs.Bings

condition.?" Shawn asked while Eric sat with

Tommy in the waiting room. "When the bullit went

in it damaged a lung and since it is so close to her

heart we have to treat it now becuse it can spreed

to more serious problems." The doctor told Shawn.

"She will live though right?" Shawn asked

concerned. Being in the hospital himeself was

bringing back all the feelings he had when his dad

had a heart attack. ".... There is a possibility that if

sugery doesnt go well she can have a heart attack

and if she survives that i cant assure you there wont

be long term problems." Thank you Shawn said

quietly trying to keep himeself from crying. He sat

down and thought of how hard it was having to deal

with his own father dying he was so scared for

Tommy and he didnt want him to go through it at

such a young age. He went back to Eric and Tommy

in the waiting room. He sat down next to Eric. Eric

looked to him and could tell in his eyes that

something was wrong. He looked back at Tommy

who was sitting in his lap with his head down. They

must of all dozed off becuase the next thing they knew the sun was

shinning.

Eric was the first to be up Tommy was

laying quietly on his lap and Shawn was streached

out on the couch. Eric decided to talk alittle walk

to clear his head. He passed the baby ward and

looked at all the cute little kids who were just born.

Looking at the babies brought back the memory of

his mother giving bith to Joshua and how thankful

he is that his little brother is okay. He walked

around the whole hospial without even thinking of

were he was going. He eventually made it back to the waiting

room were he saw shawn standing up and Tommy was still

sleeping witch was expected after what he has been

through. "Hey Eric." Shawn said quietly and started to

walk over to Eric . "How is she?" Eric asked looking at

how peaceful Tommy looked. "Well the doctor said that the bullit

wounded her lung. They had to operate as soon as she was brought

in." Shawn told Eric looking down. "There is something your not

telling me." Eric said trying to makeeye contact with Shawn. "Yea

there

is.... if surgery doesn't go well she could have a heart attack and if she

survives that he can't garuntee that there will not be long term

problems." Shawn said as he took a deep breath. "Should we tell

Tommy any of this?" As Shawn was about to speek Tommy woke up

and walked over to them. To keep Shawn from saying anything he

would regreat. He said "Hey buddy!" In a chearful voice so that

Tommy wouldn't think anything was wrong. "Tommy why don't we

go get something to eat, iam starved ." As he and Tommy

walked away he mouthed to Shawn to go see how Mrs. Bings was.

Shawn nodded his head and turned around in search for a doctor.

Shawn walked around for a few minutes and soon found the same

doctor he asked before. "How is Mrs. Bings?" Shawn asked. "The

surgery went okay for the most part but we will have to keep her here

a few days to monitor her." The doctor told Shawn. "Can Tommy

see her?" Shawn asked the doctor. "Yes i don't see why not." The

doctor told Shawn cheefully. "O thank you we will be back!" Shawn

said with excitment as he shook the doctors hand and started walking

to the cafeteria.
